he sat with fingers interlaced
pondering on just, what to say
lucky they, it was their day
to briefly miss, this grand foray
he held back, since broken May
now had come his, chance to play
with eyes so striking, deep and gray
and fingers gnarled, from decay
he the actor, this his play,
plotting as they, walked away
blood unmoving, through his veins
but smiling deeper, so they say
it was dark out, in a way
footfalls fell he, found the way
mangled hair so, in the way
he kept drudging, found a way
they were closer, he in shade
shadows deeper, gripping day
leaves blew by, one fell away
no-one noticed, or didn't say
this was now the, time to play
fear so taking, words away
in that moment, shades of gray
as he knew not, what to say
smiling deeply, his voice did say
now that your it, count away
you are lucky, so they say
effort given, so hooray
I'll go hide now,you can play
count fast, just as you may
but you'll not find me,
I'll be gone away
